AP Physics BC

<p>I was looking at the AP Physics test schedule for this coming year and it lists three separate tests for B, mechanics, and EM. Does this count as one test or does it count as three? </p>

<p>I'm asking because I'm aiming for National AP scholar.</p>

<p>IMHO, that's a horrible reason to take the class, and the reward is nowhere near worth it.</p>

<p>AP Physics B, AP Physics C: Mechanics, and AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism are all individual tests.</p>

<p>I was already taking the class anyways. I just wanted to know to see if I would have to self-study other courses for the award.</p>

<p>If you plan on selling your soul to CB, it counts as 3 tests.</p>

<p>There's so much other easier APs to take if you're trying to get National AP scholar. Physics is not an easy AP to score a 4 or 5 on.</p>

<p>Edit: ok nevermind.</p>

<p>i took both b and c tests for credit reasons;
my college awards 10 credits for a 4/5 on the B test, and only 4 credits for each c test</p>

<p>the reward is nowhere near worth it.</p>

<p>Actually learning all that Physics would be quite worth it...</p>

<p>Sure, if you wanted to take the class to learn physics. Not if you wanted to take the class so you could get an award that tens of thousands of students get every year. Granted, waterbox clarified his intentions, but I was replying on the information given at the time.</p>
